Lemme see here. If I remember correctly, our appointed president had a vision; one of uniting, not dividing, one of 'compassionate' conservatism, one of 'restoring honor to the White House'.

Now y'all's vision is nothing more than a mirage in the Iraqi desert. Bush has divided our country as none since Nixon, divided the world unlike any president I can remember (unless they are all united against us, now ain't that great), shows compassion only to the rich while honoring corporate America as 'we the people' bask in the reality of a busted treasury and having entered a war that was on the drawing board far before Bush's appointment. Thank you 9/11.

But, of course, y'all's vision has made us so much safer. And if Bush is elected for the first time (or appointed for the second time), the whole world will have a clear understanding of 'our vision' and Lord help us all.

One last thing, zit. Since you pride us riding cowboy lone ranger style, fighting wars on multiple fronts around the world, I hope your vision as you have so succinctly expressed here ad nauseam incorporates the drafting of your soon to be 18 year old son as we will require lots of American bodies in military uniforms to sacrifice themselves for you rich chickenhawk windbags. Many young men and women don't need your rose colored glasses to see the vision (writing on the wall) of y'all and that a four year hitch means 5,6....??? years while y'all tee it up at the local country club.

Now Putin is your great arbiter of truth a KGB loyalist whose ideal of free speech is to have government run media and to not allow opposition candidates air time

Also his brutal treatment of the citizens of Chechyna or however you spell it, which the US has condemned and has not labeled them as terrorists

Clearly we are not to believe Putin on this issue

So our sons and daughters are dying just in case Saddam was a threat to us, so our sons should die so that we err is the side of caution, curious, any of your relatives fighting over there

Bottom line, 10 years of sanctions, multiple times being bombed, including over 30 days Operation Desert Fox done by Clinton (which Republicans were saying was to deflect attention from Monica), had renedered Saddam incapapble of an attack against America and quite frankly the Middle East region

you know it, the Republicans know it, the President knows it, I agree there were some legitimate reasons one could argue to take out Saddam, however President Bush chose not to use any of them, instead he chose to scare us, if he had been honest about building a democracy and helping out the iraqi people then we would have cut him some slack, but he chose to lie and distort and for that he is getting the boot in November
